Are you confident, energetic, and naturally take charge?
Do you thrive in fast-paced environments where no two days are the same?

We're looking for strong role models who lead from the front - individuals who bring presence, structure, and positivity into the classroom. Whether your background is in sports coaching, youth work, or team leadership, this is your opportunity to make a genuine difference in young people's lives.

You'll be working in a vibrant and inclusive secondary school in Caerphilly. The school has a strong sense of community, a supportive staff team, and a shared focus on creating a positive, structured environment where students can thrive.

As a Youth Support Worker, you'll play a key role in maintaining a focused and engaging learning environment. You'll combine leadership, mentoring, and classroom management to support students both academically and personally.

In this role, you will:

• Deliver pre-prepared lessons with confidence and energy
• Maintain a calm, structured, and focused classroom environment
• Support and motivate students who need additional guidance or encouragement
• Work collaboratively with teaching and pastoral teams
• Lead by example, promoting respect, resilience, and teamwork

You don't need to be a qualified teacher - but you do need the right mindset.

We're looking for someone who is:

• Confident, assertive, and able to command attention
• A natural leader who builds respect through consistency
• Calm under pressure and quick to think on their feet
• Energetic, adaptable, and resilient
• Experienced in (or keen to develop in) sports coaching, youth work, or behaviour support
• DBS checked (or willing to apply)

If you've led teams, coached sports, or worked with young people in any capacity, you already have the foundation to succeed here.

• Work in supportive and welcoming schools across Caerphilly
• Enjoy a healthy work-life balance with term-time hours only
• Build a pathway into careers such as:
  • Teaching or SEN Support
